I read an article I’ve been trying to refine ever since, about how companies have bastardized the internet and every technological advancement to further insulate themselves from the customer. The the article stated that companies figured out how to use the internet backwards, but I’d argue that all of capitalism is built on this idea. Every “advancement” has benefitted companies at the expense of people. And technology is only used to increase profits while squeezing employees harder and giving customers less recourse.
I’m not advocating for long wait times, I’m just saying, 30 minutes is nothing compared to what some companies will do to you. Some people are on hold for hours, slowly going insane.
Does it count as being on hold for multiple days if you’re in hold for 8 hours, the line shuts down, hangs up, and everyone working there goes home, you have to call back the next day, and you have to repeat that for three or four days until you finally reach someone or does that count as multiple incidents because
Wow, they’ve already got you good, huh?

I can’t imagine ever advocating for that.
